“Who Is The Question?” Documentary Is Fantastic!

Thanks to Joseph Hughes over at Comics Alliance for giving us the heads up on this fantastic short documentary exploring what is hands down one of my favorite DC Comics characters.

The documentary by Gary Lobstein briefly covers the Question’s creator, Steve Ditko, as well as presenting interviews with the various talented artists who have brought the character to life throughout the years in comic books and the Justice League Unlimited animated series.

So watch the documentary below to hear from the likes of Denny O’Neil, Greg Rucka, Rick Burchett and none other than the man who gave Vic Sage/The Question his voice in the animated series, the legendary Jeffrey Combs!

Searching through the alleys for useful knowledge in the city of Nostalgia. Huge cinema fanatic and sometimes carrier of the flame for the weirding ways of 80s gaming, toys, and television. When his wife lets him he is quite happy sitting in the corner eating buckets of beef jerky.

Gary, we thank you for making such a fantastic documentary! Looking forward to your next project.
@Sam – that is why the readership of the Retroist is so fantastic! Nostalgia is a heady drug and one that none of us want to see ruined by focusing on a single subject matter. As for my posts I can assure that I’ll continue to spread the love among video games, movies, and toys….and comic books when the need arises. :)

MadPlanet – “A is A. And no matter what reality he calls home, Luthor is Luthor.” I certainly have caught those Justice League Unlimited episodes and you are quite correct that they are great. I also loved that little nod to Steve Ditko with the A is A comment…like in Ditko’s Mr. A character!
